The Formby Civic Society has been given a key role to play in a special project. which follows on from concerns that local heritage is at risk of being lost and ‘forgotten' and the need to preserve and explain our local heritage to prevent this happening, also a desire for an improvement of the Coastal dunes access network whilst at same time protecting biodiversity.

During the Development Phase: 'Guided walks’ were undertaken which resulted in very positive feedback from the people attending. Participants were genuinely quite amazed at how much history there was within the area regarding which many local residents, were unaware. All expressed support for the development of trails and interest in future events. Further associated events are now planned. Including oral history events, guided walks and other opportunities to add to the existing archive of historical information.
